| Existing sessions | Existing transcripts and summaries are unchanged. |
| New actions | Future Local Mode summaries, session chat, and global-chat answers use the selected model. |

Change it
Section titled “Change it”- Select Local (Ollama) under AI Provider.
- Open Models and choose an installed model under Summarization & Chat.
- Pull another catalog model when necessary, then refresh the inventory.
An unavailable runtime or missing selected model stops a Local Mode action at a model requirement rather than silently using another provider.
